Frisco Independent School District trustees will consider new, final attendance zones on Monday.
Plans to ease crowding on the high school level have been in development since September.
However, in one Frisco neighborhood, parents are concerned one plan at the top of the district’s list will divide their neighborhood, even their families, between two high schools.
Annette Feddersen of The Trails has two sons, a freshman at Wakeland High School and a seventh grader.
Under one of the new proposals, her freshman would transfer to Reedy High School next school year, once Reedy, which is currently under construction, opens.
He would stay at Reedy through graduation.
That plan, however, is only temporary rezoning.

The latest news from around North Texas.
In 2016, her West Frisco neighborhood would go back to being a feeder zone for Wakeland High School, meaning her seventh grader would attend Wakeland while his brother remains at Reedy.
“My biggest fear from the beginning has been dividing my family, dividing my sons,” Feddersen said. “I think the kids have gotten lost in the mix.”
Other neighbors worry the temporary rezoning plan creates a precedent for other parts of the city, given that Frisco ISD is planning on opening other new high schools over the next few years.
“Once they use this precedent, it will be used again,” said neighbor and Frisco ISD parent Steve Monson. “Splitting this community for four years, which has never been done before in Frisco ISD, that’s the most damaging part of this process.”
Trustees have looked at close to 30 maps during the rezoning discussion this fall.
Their meeting on Monday starts at 7:30 p.m.
